The Maine Lagoon
Laboratory Chronicles


by Tim Loftus

Tim Loftus
Tim Loftus has been the Chief Chemist and Industrial Pretreatment Coordinator at the Webster-Dudley Wastewater Treatment Facility in Massachusetts since 1988. In this capacity he manages an environmental laboratory performing sampling and analysis on industrial wastes and wastewater processes, monitoring NPDES requirements, monitoring sludge landfill wells, and performing E. coli analyses for several area beaches. In addition to this he is an active member of the New England Water Environment Association (NEWEA) Laboratory Practices Committee where he is involved in the writing and updating of the Laboratory Analyst Certification Exams and the Laboratory Analyst Certification Test Booklet.

Tim received the E. Sherman Chase Award
at the 2005 NEWEA Annual Conference, held at the Marriott Copley Place in Boston, MA, January 22-25, 2006. NEWEA, the region’s largest organization of water pollution control professionals, has been working to protect and improve the area’s water environment for over 75 years. The Association continually directs and promotes the research, development, and application of more advanced and effective water pollution control practices and technologies to protect water resources, safeguard public health, and preserve environmental quality.

Tim was also the recipient of NEWEA's 2001 Laboratory Excellence Award. He also writes wastewater laboratory training articles and puzzles for professional wastewater operations and laboratory organizations in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey. He is also involved at the national level of the Water Environment Federation (WEF) by writing Certification Questions for use on the interactive WEF website.
